Loading Dropbox: Secure Cloud Storage 352.2.2 3

Corinne Hunter

Does what it's supposed to do, all the time, every time. TBH I rarely need to access my files on mobile but the times when I do, it works exactly the way it should. The main service itself is, of course, excellent. Also, for some reason, when opening downloaded PDFs it's an option to open them in DropBox, and I've found that's more readable than the other options; that's just a bonus.

Having more storage can be accomplished by simply buying a larger sd card, they're cheap and can be transfered from device to device easily and quickly. Downloading large files to these cloud apps are sometimes not available plus you still need the room on your phone to fetch it back and wait again for it to load. Only purpose is because you're forced to use it based on the site offering the file as I encountered.

I am using the paid Dropbox version for more than 5 years. One can create shortcuts to individual Dropbox folders on Android phones. Currently (at least for 8 months from my own experience), on the newest Android phones, if you create a shortcut, its name reverts to "Dropbox" after a couple of days. Subsequently, you have lots of icons named "Dropbox". Rather annoying.

There is a bug in the native audio player. It stops playing if you turn off the display. This significantly shortens available playing time. Using the same canned response to negative reviews is not helpful, especially when complaints are about how difficult it is to work with support. Most apps respond in reviews with how they have fixed the problem. Not seeing that here.

There's no way to sort files by size or view the size of a folder. These are some of the most basic features of a file browser. This severely limits its usefulness to me. Edit: I had already seen the article in the reply. The instructions the developer provided only work on desktop, not mobile. Maybe I'm missing something. My complaint is with the mobile experience, not the desktop experience. Edit 2: No, you can't sort by size or file type in the Files tab. I checked. Only name or time. Try it!

For some reason Dropbox on Android cannot preview .wav or .mp3 files, but Dropbox on iPhones can. Please fix this. [Update after response from Dropbox] - I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times and deleted the cache. It still gives the same error for audio files - "mp3/wav files can't be previewed, to open this file try a computer or another app".

Very disappointed with the recent updates in audio playback. You can no longer playback audio with a lock screen/in the background. Major regression in my opinion. This feature used to exist but is no longer possible. I used to listen to music projects on dropbox while walking and running but that's become wildly inconvenient now that you can't listen with a locked phone. Is there any way around this? It's a horrible user experience for anyone working on and sharing audio projects.

After the Android update this month, Dropbox won't open at all. Uninstalling, clearing cache/storage, resetting allowances, nothing works. The furthest I've been able to get is logging in before it starts crashing again. It also brings up a "market feedback agent" error when it crashes. This is the only app I've had problems with since the update.

Not sure what Dropbox is doing but crash crash crash crash crash pixel 6 pro. Don't know why works fine on any other Android phone, but on Google's new pixel crash crash crash reinstall doesn't do anything. It's still just crash. Can't stress it enough then crashing since I got the phone and I've had the phone for several weeks now and other people are complaining about the same thing. Where is the update to fix this? Come on there's no reason for a bug this extreme to last any period of time.

I wasted half the morning because the app on this Android tablet refused to download a simple Word file so that I could work on it. It's Word, people. The ability to access and work on files between home computer and more portable devices is what Dropbox is (supposedly) for. If you can't pull that off, then you're useless. I'm just grateful I never paid for a subscription.
